HISTORY OF WIDENER UNIVERSITY Founded in 1821 as a preparatory school for boys in Wilmington, Delaware, the institution moved to Pennsylvania in 1862, and was granted collegiate powers and privileges via universal charter by the Pennsylvania legislature in April of that year. Known from 1892 to 1972 as Pennsylvania Military College, though it had officially become PMC Colleges in 1966 when a nonmilitary, coeducational component was added, the name Widener College was adopted and the Corps of Cadets disbanded in 1972. Graduate programs were introduced in 1967, and the Delaware Law School was acquired in 1975. In recognition of its comprehensive offerings, Widener College became Widener University in 1979. Widener has grown into an esteemed university that connects curricula to social issues through civic engagement. It comprises seven schools and colleges that offer liberal arts and sciences, professional and preprofessional curricula leading to associate’s, baccalaureate, master’s, and doctorate degrees. The university’s campuses in Chester and Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, and Wilmington, Delaware, serve more than 5,000 students.

ACADEMIC DRESS The history of academic dress begins in the early days of the oldest universities. A statute of 1321 required all “Doctors, Licentiates, and Bachelors” of the Portuguese University of Coimbra to wear gowns. In England during the second half of the 14th century, the statutes of certain colleges forbade “excess apparel” and prescribed the wearing of a long gown. It is still a question whether academic dress finds its sources chiefly in ecclesiastical or in civilian dress. Gowns may have been considered necessary for warmth in the unheated buildings used by medieval scholars. Hoods may have served to cover the tonsured head until superseded for that purpose by the skull cap. The cap was later displaced by a headdress similar to ones now recognized as “academic.” European institutions continue to show great diversity in their specifications of academic dress. In the United States, the practice of wearing academic apparel dates back to colonial times, but there was no uniform standard of approved attire until 1895 when a commission of leading American educators devised a code of academic dress. Although modified in 1932 by the American Council on Education, this code continues to govern the style of academic dress today.

GOWNS – The gown for the bachelor’s degree has pointed sleeves and is worn closed. The gown for the master’s degree has an oblong sleeve, open at the wrist, with the sleeve base hanging down in the traditional manner. The rear part of the sleeve’s oblong shape is square cut, and the front part has an arc cut away. It may be worn open or closed. The gown for the doctor’s degree has bellshaped sleeves and may be worn open or closed. Bachelor’s and master’s gowns have no sleeve trimmings. The doctor’s may be faced on the front with black or colored velvet and with three bars of the same across the sleeves. If color is used, it is the color distinctive of the subject to which the degree pertains, and it matches the edging or binding of the hood. The colors associated with the different disciplines include the following:

Arts, Letters, and Humanities—White

Music—Pink

Commerce, Accountancy, and Business—Drab Brown

Nursing—Apricot

Economics—Copper

Philosophy and Psychology—Dark Blue

Education—Light Blue

Physical Education—Sage Green

Engineering—Orange

Physical Therapy—Teal

Fine Arts—Brown

Public Administration—Peacock Blue

Journalism—Crimson

Public Health—Salmon Pink

Law—Purple

Science—Golden Yellow

Social Work—Citron

Library Science—Lemon

Medicine—Green

Theology and Hospitality Management—Scarlet

HOODS – Hoods are worn by those receiving graduate degrees. The colors used in the satin linings are drawn, customarily, from the official colors of the granting institution. Widener University’s colors are blue and gold. The trimming on the hood varies in color and usually indicates the field of study.

2

CAPS – Mortarboards are generally worn as part of the academic costume. The long tassel fastened to the middle point of the cap’s top is black or a color appropriate to the subject, except that the doctor’s cap may have its tassel of gold threads. It is customary for degree candidates to wear the tassels on the right front side before degrees are conferred and to shift them to the left when the degrees are awarded.

CORDS, MEDALLIONS, AND STOLES – Widener University students earning a bachelor’s degree who achieved Latin honors (summa cum laude, magna cum laude, and cum laude) based on grade point average will wear a gold and white cord. Widener has a chapter of Phi Kappa Phi, the national honor society of universities. Founded in 1897, the society recognizes and encourages superior scholarship in all academic disciplines. Those members of Phi Kappa Phi graduating today wear a gold cord to signify their scholastic ranking in the upper 10 percent of the class. Graduates who are members of academic honor societies for specific disciplines may also wear the official cord or medallion of the society as part of their academic regalia. The blue and gold cord signifies membership in Alpha Phi Sigma (National Criminal Justice Honor Society); burgundy and gold, Alpha Sigma Lambda (National Honor Society for Non-Traditional Adult Students); red, Beta Alpha Psi (International Financial Information Honor Society); red and green, Beta Beta Beta (National Biological Honor Society); gold and royal blue, Beta Gamma Sigma (Honor Society for AACSB-accredited business programs); royal blue, Eta Sigma Delta (International Hospitality Management Honor Society); blue, Kappa Delta Pi (International Honor Society in Education); maroon and gold, Kappa Theta Epsilon (National Honor Society for Cooperative Education); white and maroon, Omega Chi Epsilon (Honor Society in Chemical Engineering); blue and white, Omicron Delta Kappa (National Leadership Honor Society); blue, Pi Gamma Mu (International Social Science Honor Society); red and silver blue, Phi Alpha Theta, (International History Honor Society); gold with blue and gold tassels, Psi Chi (National Honor Society in Psychology); lavender and white, Sigma Theta Tau (International Honor Society of Nursing); orange, Tau Beta Pi (National Engineering Honor Society); and yellow stoles (Honors in General Education). Green cords recognize students who have received donor-funded scholarships. A medallion with blue and gold ribbons signifies membership in Phi Alpha (National Social Work Honor Society). A medallion with red and gold ribbons signifies membership in Phi Beta Delta (International Scholars). A medallion on a scarlet ribbon indicates membership in Sigma Tau Delta (International English Honor Society).

THE MACE – The mace was originally a weapon of offense used by medieval bishops who were forbidden to shed

blood under canonical rule. By the late 16th century, the mace had evolved into a ceremonial symbol of authority.

At Widener, the mace symbolizes the authority of the faculty. Widener University’s mace is carried by the grand marshal of the university and is used to open and close academic ceremonies

ALMA MATER WIDENER BLUE AND GOLD Composed by John Vanore ’69. Lyrics by Nancy Huebner ’84 Widener, Blue and Gold, our Alma Mater true.

We, your children, sing our praise to you.

From Old Main’s lofty dome, your lamp of knowledge shines.

You have sought to enlighten us; igniting hearts and minds.

On your wings of wisdom, we have learned to soar.

Now you are calling us to “Go and serve the world outside your door.”

Widener! Widener! May we all, young and old, Bring only honor to the Widener Blue and Gold.
